Amber
Amber is an organic gemstone formed from ancient tree resin that has hardened over millions of years. It is valued for its warm color, light weight, and sometimes preserved inclusions like insects or plant material.

About ​

Amber

Amber is a unique organic gemstone rather than a true mineral, as it originates from fossilized resin of prehistoric trees, mainly from coniferous species. Over millions of years, this resin underwent polymerization and oxidation, transforming into the solid substance we know as amber. It is widely appreciated for its warm golden hues and its ability to preserve ancient biological material, making it scientifically and historically significant. Amber typically exhibits colors ranging from pale yellow to deep orange and brown, though rare varieties can appear green, red, or even blue. Its beauty is enhanced by its translucent to transparent appearance and resinous luster. One of its most fascinating features is the presence of inclusions, such as insects, leaves, or air bubbles, which provide a glimpse into ancient ecosystems.
